Hello Avid Readers. Today, I’d like to share my thoughts about The Pirate’s Witch by Jennifer Blackstream. Book 6 in her paranormal romance series, Blood Prince.
Last year, I decided that mini reviews were the way forward for this particular book blogger. 😉 This means that I only write full detailed reviews for the books I receive from authors, publishers and PR organiser (ARCs).
The Pirate’s Witch is a book I first read back in April 2019. As I’d only written a couple of paragraphs, I didn’t post my review here on my blog. I’m remedying that right now …

The pirate captain needs a hand…and it’s not because he’s only got the one.
An earth witch doesn’t do sea voyages. Ever.
Tyr is a pirate on a mission to catch the firebird. The penalty for failure? Death by ogre king. There is only one woman who can help him find the bird he needs to save his life.
Unfortunately for him, this beautiful woman is an earth witch, and utterly unwilling to be parted from the land that fuels her power.
Unfortunately for her, a pirate only asks politely once...

What Did I Think About The Pirate’s Witch?
A Despicable Pirate Gets The Blackstream Treatment in This Turbulent Tale.
I’m already a big fan of Ms Blackstream’s writing style; I love the way she mixes mythology, traditional folk/fairy tales and gives them a new perspective.
I downloaded the narration of this book and once again Matt Addis’ performance was outstanding! The pace he read transported me into the scenes and his tonal variations brought each character to life. He is a very talented voice actor and I would happily recommend books narrated by him.
I loved the duel nature of our so-called hero in this tale; I spent most of the story hating his guts but it was the glimmers of what Ms Blackstream hid beneath that kept me engaged. Our heroine is exactly what I crave in a leading female character; intelligent, resilient and has plenty of gumption.
I enjoyed the leading hook that this story gives us in the epilogue to Ms Blackstream’s next series – Blood Realms. I will be adding them to my Amazon wish list too.

About Jennifer Blackstream
Jennifer Blackstream is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She is amazed and grateful to have made a writing career out of a Master’s degree in Psychology, hours of couch-detecting watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and endless research into mythology and fairy tales. She firmly believes that whether it’s a village witch deciding she wants to be a private investigator, or a single mother having a go at being a full-time writer, it’s never too late for a new adventure.
A fervent devotee of cooperative board games, Jennifer sets aside at least two nights a week for team-based adventures such as Mice & Mystics, Sentinels of the Multiverse, or Harry Potter: Battle at Hogwarts. She uses games with dice-based mechanics to lure in her ridiculously lucky-rolling son and daughter in the hope that they too will develop a passion for cooperative escapism.
